maybe the drinking thing is a bit over the top, but do we really know compared to other clubs. Lets face it we are talking about part time players with other jobs - working class lads who like any other like a good beer or 2. If we try to stop this, do they resort to other forms of "relaxation" - think about the no of players in both codes found using other substances recently.
As longs as it is not ott then fair enough. I heard that in the World Cup, england were laughing stock, cos whislt Aussies and Kiwis were out bonding having a beer after a hard raining session or game, we were at organised tea parties. And a recent aussie coach at Leeds insisted on his players going to the bar after training or match nights otherwise they could kiss their payslip goodbye.
These lads ave got to have a life, bond with each other. But the balance has to be right, the coach has to command the dressing room.
I am more worried that our tactics are not up to it. Teams have worked us out and we have no answers, yes we have individual skills that when things go right we can blow teams apart but this alone is not good enough to wins games over 80 mins.
